Hi,
I have installed MSDE into my system, in which SQL Server is not installed. I have followed the installation instructions and installed MSDE.
How can i connect to the database? I have the .MDF file of the database (already created in sqlserver) in the Data Folder. How can i connect to the database from Visual Basic 6?
Hi!
I have installed MSDE 2000 in "Mixed Windows and SQL mode authentication with network access" .following is the command:
setup.exe DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SAPWD="password" INSTANCENAME="TempInstance" SECURITYMODE=SQL
Then I created the database TempDB in it.
When I try to connect this database from my program running on my machine , it works fine. But when i try to connect to it from the same program running on a different machine on the same domain.It gives error:
"SQL Server does not exist or access denied ."
Even when i run the same program in my machine to access the same TempDB database on a remote machine that is not in my domain, it works fine.
this is my connection string:
Data Source={Database server's IP Address}TempInstance;Initial Catalog=TempDB;User ID=sa;PWD=password;
Please help.

G'day,
I'm very new to ASP.NET (but not to programming) and I'm having some trouble with connecting to a database.
I am using C#.NET and I dragged the SqlConnection component onto the form, set the connection string to (local) and to use integrated security, and on that data link properties page I can press the test connection and it works fine, and I can see the databases in "select database on server" drop down box... but when I try and Open() the connection I get a
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'AMD2500ASPNET'.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Robbo
I am trying to connect to a MSDE database on server from my desktop using query analyzer. I keep getting the generic "SQL Server does not exist or access denied'
I have verified the following:
- the login/password is valid because when I access osql from server I can gain access
- the registry for Loginmode appears OK - set to 2 - mixed mode
What else do I need to check...
Thanks, kgaske
Being new to the SQL server world I have a beginner question.How do I grant access to database from a networked computer?I have tried:sp_grantlogin '\computernameusername'and I get the error:Windows NT or user <above> not found. Please check name.Any help would be appreciated.ThanksEric
View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease advise: I have created a simple ASPX page to test if I can connect to MSDE on a Server 2003 system. The connection string that works ok is:
server=WS1;database=northwind;integrated security=false;user id=sa;password=xxx;
but the string that does not work is:
server=WS1;database=northwind;integrated security=SSPI;
which is the string I would like to use for normal web access. This string works fine on my development system (where I use XP Pro and IIS 5.1)
In IIS6 on the "production server" the directory security on the virtual dir is set to allow anonymous access, using user IUSR_WS1 (where WS1 is the name of the system) and to integrated security.
Please help! Thank you

View 2 Replies View RelatedHey guys, I am a newbie here, so please bear with me. I have installed SQL Server 2005 CTP on Machine A and MSDE on Machine B. Both these contain the PUBS database beside others. On Machine C, I have installed "ASP.Net Web Matrix" and I want to be able to connect to either Machine A or B to access the PUBS database. It connects to Machine B, when I put in the Servers IP address. But everytime I try to connect to Machine A, it gives me an error saying, "Unable to connect to the database. To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management objects(SMO) ". I heard that connection strings are needed to access the SQL Server 2005 but I have no idea where to begin. Do I need to create special users to access the Server or will Windows authentication work ? Could anyone help me out in connecting to the SQL Server 2005 CTP?
View 15 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have downloaded WebMatrix/NET.Framework and it works well.
Unfortunatelly I have problem with connecting to MSDE.
I've installed the new version (sql2ksp3a) like they say:
setup.exe INSTANCENAME=my_inst_name DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SAPWD=my_pass
SECURITYMODE=SQL
The MSDE works ok (I can connect from a commercial programs - for example
'MSDE Manager') and seems to be ok.
But when I try to connect from Web Matrix I get the error:
"Unable to connect to database, Invalid connection connection Open, Invalid
instancename".
I put all the parameters correct:
user: sa, auth.type: SQL, server: my_pc_namemy_instance_name
By the way the instance name and my PC name is the same. Could it be the
reason ?
Please help,
greetings to all
Hi,Does anyone know how I can connect to an MSDE db using VB with aread-only file? The file will be on a CD, and is actually just archiveddata off a SQL server. I would like to package my app on a CD alongwith the data file and allow users to pop in the CD and run the app,assuming they already have MSDE running. Any help?Thanks,Jason

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to an instance of MSDE 2000 from Visual Studio 2005 over a home network. Although I know how to connect to a database from Visual Studio, I'm pretty clueless about configuring Sql Server to allow the connection (I can connect with no problem when I do so from the same computer). Also, with experimenting I've created a bunch of instances of Sql Server that I don't really need and am not sure how to get rid of them. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I've already tried enabling all of the network protocols in the instance. Also, I can easily connect to an Access database over the network.
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott

In the VB 2005 Express, I can get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString of a Database "shcDB" in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) by the following set of code:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If the Database "shcDB" and the Stored Procedure "sp_inertNewRecord" are in the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express, I plan to use "Data Source=local" in the following code statements to get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString:

Hi all,I come up with a problem aleady discussed in some posts especially in the post http://forums.asp.net/t/1235761.aspx. but I got in not finally solved.The main problem is connecting to a database twice which causes errors. So I think this might be the right place to ask my questions. Here ist the problem in short:I'm using VWD on XP-Professional with SQL-Server Express and Reporting Services Express. All with Windwos Integrated Security and User Instance (SQLExpress). In my web-application I had for all Datasources the connect string:Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|mydatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True This works fine so far. I also have Reports designed with the Report designer using the same connection string. I can preview the reports and I deployd thre reports successfully. I want to call these report using a report viewer web control.Now the problem:when I call the remote remote report from my web-application, the database cannot be opened because an other process is using the database (see post mentioned above). It seems that this is a problem with attaching the database twice: from the sql-server and from the report-server.So I used now a new connection string without "attaching" the database (in vwd and in report designer):Data Source=.SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=C:inetpubwwwrootmyappAPP_DATAmydatabase;Integrated Security=True Now everything works...but ... only on my machine. On the production machine this does not work. I wonder anyway, why its working on my machine, because I never "attach" the database (there is no connection string with AttachDbFilename and I have not opend the developer and have not opened the sql management studio).On the production machine the concurrent (SQL-Server and Report-Server) connection to database does not work with either connection strings, no matter if i attach the database with sql server manager or not).This all drives me crazy for days now. All I want is to use SQL-server and Reporting- Services with its nice features and not repairing my tools. I thought I have a standard Installation, nothing special, but the standard obviously makes problems.Here finally my question:Does this environment ( web-application with remote reports) with Express edition cause normally no problems?Can I "attach" a database only once? How should I connect with my web application that uses the sql-server connections and also the report-server-connections (attaching twice does not work).What connection strings to use and when (AttachDbFilename or Initial Catalog).Are these problems specific to the Express Editions? I thank you in advance for any help Dieter

Hi,
I installed MSDE and the sample databases with it. They work fine.
Well I am using the server explorer of visaula studio standard 2002. I can see all the sample databases there and connect to them as well.
1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now i created a new database named "testDb" and in a similar fashion i am using windows login thingy.
When i write my connection string in the program now it doesnt work
string connectionStr =@"Server=IMRANNetSDK;" + "Integrated Security=SSPI;" + "Connection Timeout=7;" + "Database=testDB;";
If i replace my Database clause to Northwind it works absolutely fine.
The ERROR it gives is:
Cannot open database requested in login 'testDB'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'IMRANASPNET'.
Why is this happenning? :(.
============================================
2.
-------------------------
How can i configure the MSDE to use the SQL Authentication.
It doesnt allow me to do that?
Thanx Heaps,
Imran
I'm running Windows 2003 .NET server (1
year trial) and I have the latest version of MSDE installed. I have
WebMatriX II installed.
I want to create an MSDE database I can use with a DSN so can use in .ASP or APS.NET.
I've successfully created a test
database (in Webmatrix II) via Windows Authentication security and have
created a DSN via ODBC/Windows Authentication security but don't know
how to access in ASP or ASP.NET web page.
All the SQL databases I use in .ASP have a DSN, User, Password as connection parameters. I want to continue this process.
I ran the command list: setup
SAPWD=**secret** SecurityMode=SQL after setting up MSDE SP3. I log into
the server as "Administrator" with a password.
Question:
1. What am I supposed to use as a ID and
Pass if I want to setup a MSDE database in WebMatrix II using SQL
Server authentication? Everything I try fails. I was never asked to
provide a beginning ID and Pass for SQL(MSDE) Server.
2. What does the connection string look
like to access the database in ASP.NET for Windows Authentication
security? Like this: ConnectionString= "server='localhost';
trusted_connection=true; database='ichapter_test'".
3. What would it look like in .ASP?
Thanks in advance!

HiI am just starting my first .NET project using the web matrix and an MSDE database. I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge - all very interesting. I have some data in an Access spreadsheet (6 columns and 365 rows) which in the past I have copied and pasted into an Access database table. How do I get it into a MSDE database table? This process does not need to be automated/programmed as I will only have to do it once a year. Any ideas on the easiest way forward would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Mike

I have MSDE installed on my machine to support off-line use of a web application.
The database (MDF) file in question is stored on an encrypted area of my hard drive, which must be unlocked each time the machine starts up by the user entering a password.
Unfortunately, by this time the SQL Server service has already started, and although it still lists the database along with master, etc, it cannot access it. I believe the error mentions that some files are unavailable.
Stopping and restarting SQL Server using Service Manager fixes this problem. However, this can only be done when logged in as Administrator. I need to find a solution for normal users without Admin privileges.
Is there any other way of making the now-unlocked MDF file available to SQL Server? I thought about using SQLDMO to Refresh databases, but no joy.
This is a real show stopper for my application, which I've spent three years developing! It goes without saying that I'm writing this message with a long face. If anybody has any suggestions I would be very happy to hear from you!
Best wishes

I installed MSDE on a pc with no problems, but now I realise I want to create another instance and set DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 so I can use Enterprise Manager over the network from another PC.
If I create another instance of MSDE on the PC, can I remove / uninstall the first instance?
Is it any big deal if I leave the first instance?
and last but not least...
If I create a new instance will it see the database I created on the first instance?
told you so...
Can anyone recomend some good literature to explain about instances please :D
Hi,
we have about 12 databases in an MSDE server.
We can install the enterprise manager, but cant get the maintenance plans to work. (fields stay empty and setting dont get saved)
I've searched a bit, but couldn't fix it.
No problem, i created a job, with 12 T-SQL commands, and the backups are working perfect.
Now we wanne backup with a history (we take a backup every 4 hours of the day), because now they always get overwritten.
So im trying to change my transactSQL to create dynamic files.
The code i'm using right now :
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
I've tried different things like
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00' + DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) + '.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
but nothing worked.
so basically I wanne be able to create dynamic filenames in the above command.
You got any ideas/solutions.
tnx.
